In case you didn’t know it, our whole family loves the Dave Matthews Band. Tami “introduced” me to the band on our first date over 12 years ago (she’s been a fan forever) and we’ve been following them ever since. Lucky for us this is the most touring band I have ever known of – this band pretty much tours every…

What a great week we had celebrating Eric’s graduation from Villanova. We took the time to visit a few more great places while in the northeast besides Philadelphia where Villanova University is located. We also took in New York City, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Boston all in our 9 day trip, and can I just say…wow! First of all, the campus…

Poor Lincoln is having a full-blown allergic reaction to living in the woods! We came home a week ago and realized he had a little bald spot on his back. Not a huge deal, but I was a little baffled as to what caused it. Out of convenience, Eric had bought him some crappy dog food from the grocery store…

I refer to the countdown as the amount of time left before Tami and I quit our jobs and travel fulltime. The clock sits at about 18 months. The two boys will graduate from college in May 2016 and Ally will graduate high school in May 2016 too. All the kids want to take a family vacation to celebrate (their…

When I graduated with my masters degree almost 7 years ago, I wanted to get scuba certified as a way to celebrate. I was 33 years old and Eric and I had been married for 3 years. The week I graduated was the literally the same week Steve Irwin died from a stingray injury while diving. Talk about a…

Tami had some underwater anxiety issues that delayed the process, and then got a few sinus infections along the way too. During one training session Tami got water in her mask and…

Having Christmas in a RV certainly requires some organization and thoughtful planning. First the Christmas tree. If you have one at all then it needs to take up minimal space. we bought a stick of a tree that stood about 2 feet tall. This tree fit nicely on the booth table. When it came to presents we had to wait…

We decided to go for a walk on the beach tonight, and Lincoln, our English Bulldog, decided to go. It was dark outside so I brought my spot light. Of course we live at the beach since we have decided everyday should be filled with things we like to do, so it was as simple as walking outside and walking…

Well this past weekend was a wild one on the island. On Saturday, we took the boat towards the west end of the Island to a place called the Katrina Cut. It is named this because when hurricane Katrina came through it literally cut the island in half, and it had to be repaired with a wall of rocks. We…

Well, this week was exciting….can’t deny the joy of your annual mammogram. For me, it brings back rather unpleasant memories. As much as I try to tell myself the chances are slim, anytime I go to something that is actually testing for cancer, I imagine what I would do if I got cancer again. It’s unavoidable. Unless you’ve had it, I guess…
